At the 2026 NACS Human Resources Forum, moderator Julie Jackowski, who previously served as the 2019-2020 NACS chair, shared top-level insights on what employers should pay attention to.
“You need to tune into compliance. If it’s something your company doesn’t focus on often, you need to at least have a grasping knowledge of when you need to contact legal counsel for guidance,” she said. She cautioned that HR leaders don’t need to be legal experts, but they should know when an issue rises to the level of calling legal counsel.
